Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 113

In the presence of Hilton and several other patients, Chelsea transferred twenty thousand dollars to Hilton.

A greedy smile played on Hilton's face as she did this. Noticing this, repulsion rose in her heart. She began to choke with tears and uttered, "Dad, I only have the money for meals now. I did my best but this is all I could do."

Having said that, Chelsea put on a good show of wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. There was something about her that aroused pity in other people's hearts.

When Hilton was about to say something, a family member of one of the patients said, "Look, your daughter is doing her best for you."

Another man chimed in and said, "Hilton, didn't you say that you have a son? Why hasn't he showed up?"

All the patients echoed his opinion. "You can't let your daughter pay all the money."

Hilton had to swallow what he wanted to say.

He had been on the verge of asking Chelsea to buy him some fresh pair of clothes and good food.

She had disappeared for more than a year. He couldn't let her be after getting only twenty thousand dollars!

He thought he had to come up with a plan to blackmail Chelsea.

But he had to think of another day to do that. After all, people were around today. He consoled himself saying now that he had found her, he would be presented with plenty of opportunities to ask her for money.

In the end, he finally said, "Okay, I know you are busy. You can go back now. I am fine and don't need anyone to take care of me."

Chelsea pretended to be grateful. She nodded her head and said, "You must take good care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."

Chelsea put on a facade of a good daughter. However, as soon as she was out of their sight, she took out her phone and blocked Hilton's number.

She knew Hilton was probably thinking of ways to milk money out of her. But little did he know she would no longer be at his mercy!

Hilton had no idea that this brief conversation would be the last one he would have with her. When they would meet again in the future, she would act as if he was a mere stranger.

Once Chelsea left, the first thing Chris did was inform Edmund about her background.

Edmund was quite surprised by the details. "Do you mean to say that Hilton and his wife are not her biological parents?"

Chris replied, "Yes. Chelsea wouldn't lie about this kind of thing. I get the feeling that she feels trapped. She intends to use this opportunity to completely sever the relationship with Hilton and his son."

Edmund pressed his lips, deep in thought.

He thought this explanation made sense. From what he knew, Hilton was the sort of man who would keep Chelsea in his clutches since they had found her.

Moreover, with her current economic ability, how could she afford to satiate the greed of Hilton and his son?

He had planned to talk to her and ask her if she needed his help to keep the father and son at bay.
